Precor EFX5.21s Before You Begin, Unpacking the EFX, Allen wrench, power cord, and tie wrap

1	Before You Begin
	Thank you for purchasing your Precor EFX Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer. The EFX5.21s features a
	zero impact, elliptical-shaped stride that lets you target specific lower-body muscles to achieve
	better muscle tone and overall cardiovascular conditioning. The EFX is designed to use the
	optional Precor Heart Rate Interactive System featuring Smart Rate.TM
	In addition to the standard display features, the Precor Heart Rate Interactive System offers an
	easy-to-understand electronic console that gives motivating feedback about your workout and
	incorporates the latest in cardiac monitoring to provide Smart RateTM— a visual aid that lets you
	know where your heart rate is at a glance. When the Precor Heart Rate Option receiver is installed
	and you wear the chest strap, the colored cells on the display light up to indicate your target zone.
	You’ll be able to maintain your ideal training zone (weight loss or cardiovascular) by keeping the
	blinking cell within the target zone.
	With Smart Rate you can see what your heart rate is doing when you use any of the four different
	modes: Manual, Interval, Weight Loss,and Program. These courses provide variety to help
	motivate you during your workout. In addition, the Heart Rate Control Course (HRC) monitors
	your heart rate within a target zone (usually 55% to 90% of your maximum heart rate) and
	automatically changes the resistance to keep your heart rate in that zone.
	The EFX is designed for household use only and is unique in its crosstraining features. To
	maximize your use of the EFX, please study this guide thoroughly.
	Unpacking the EFX
	The EFX is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. Precor ships the unit in three pieces:
	•	base assembly
	•	handrail assembly (includes the electronic console)
	•	owner’s manual, limited warranty card, and parts — shown in Diagram 1

CAUTION: This unit weighs over 160 pounds (72 kilograms). To avoid injury and to ensure the safety of the unit and yourself, get adequate assistance before unpacking your EFX. Slide the base assembly out of the box.

Carefully unpack the pieces of the EFX and lay them on the floor near the location where you plan to use it.

Important: If you plan to move the EFX, do so before you install the handrails. Ask for assistance to move the unit. Once the handrails are in place, the unit is wide enough that moving it down a hallway or through a door frame (without scratching it) is very difficult.

After unpacking the EFX, pull out the plastic sack containing the items in Diagram 1. You will need these items to complete the assembly of the EFX. If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the EFX or call 1-800-4-PRECOR for the dealer nearest you.
